Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Super Starling

I have been using Starling Bank for personal banking for almost 2 years. Their app interface is fantastic and gives me real time updates in terms of my balance, card use and direct debits. Their customer service is second to none, available via phone, email or chat 24/7! Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Highly recommended

I can't recommend Starling Bank more than I already do. I love that everything can be done online, and if anything doesn't work, you always have the support of an awesome customer agent. Joint account and savings spaces are the winning combos in family budgeting and I use this every month to budget, save and break down expenses. And there are also the small things: - the fact that you can deposit a cheque directly in the app saves you a trip - expenses breakdown per category and month - paying bills from a savings space - being able to issue cards for the little ones - etc. I truly recommend this bank because it has the trust of a high street bank brought in a modern package.

This Bank should be in more countries!

Amazing Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

easy and great for saving

The app is super easy to use and field with features that I wish I had before. It is super easy to set up saving pots and direct money into them as well as rounding up transactions to the nearest £. All of this means I am hitting saving goals. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Easy to use

Has allowed me to easily control my finances by giving me notifications when I spend and receive money, allowing me to sort my funds into separate spaces and I love that I can pay bills from a separate space. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Switched recently - fantastic

Switched to Starling after I got fed up waiting for Monzo to sort out international payments. They even support accounts in Euros, it's brilliant. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Does what it says on the tin, in a smooth, seamless way.

No hitches, no fuss. Just straightforward banking with transparency and an excellent app. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Best bank ever

A personal service. Great customer service. Simple app. Fab. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Utterly Amazing

Easy to use and laid out perfectly. We love that we can move money into a space for bills and everything gors directly out of there. Made budgeting a whole lot easier! Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Very good in all the ways that count

I’m delighted with my Starling current account. It works exactly how I’d want a current account today to function - primarily app based, with real-time notifications on transactions and mainly using my phone to make purchases instead of the physical card. I love the savings goals and the way it classifies my spending into categories for an overview. Seemingly no unfair charges and I don’t see any reason to go anywhere else right now.
